Default 900 CIS Fuel Lines

Hello,
Just wondering if any of you know who is the provider of the small diameter, hardplastic fuel lines as used on late 70s/mid 80s CIS injection.
A local SAAB dealer (now defunct) used to carry this stuff in a roll and sold it by the foot. It fit fuel injector lines, cold start valve, control pressure regulator, etc. and was used by cutting the old line off of the nipples, heating the hose end slightly over a candle, and sliding it onto the nipple, never to be removed again.

Anyone familiar with this stuff? I've used it a lot and can't seem to find it now. Thanks in advance for any info.

No, I do not have a receipt. The small SAAB dealer I originally bought some of this off of is out of the SAAB business completely. I did talk to the owner but he deals only in used SAABs, Alpha Romeos, Porsches, etc and has done away with all parts and service.
He could not remember the source for the hose.
Originally, I had an injector line crack and when I called them they said they always repaired any broken lines with the material they kept on a roll.
It was fairly pricy then, about 4-5 bucks a foot, but worth it. It was the same diameter as the cold start tubing, etc. and worked just fine on injectors so I redid all 4 injector lines at the time.
However, now I have a leaking control pressure reg. line and a leaking line to the frequency valve.
It appears no one on earth carries those, at least not that I've been able to find, and several used ones I've obtained are also on their last legs.
